Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 My ES is doing his work experience at my school this week . It felt very odd taking him in with me today but he seems to have settled in well and is in a class with a lovely, very good teacher. I said to her "please look after my little boy" and she replied "Little boy . He's 6'3" and I'm 5'3" . It's not a field he's interested in but he didn't get off his nether regions to organise anything himself . I'm seeing it as "life" rather than "work" experience as he'll get to see & work with children with autism, aspergers and learning difficulties - hopefully he'll get the message that not everybody is born with the abilities and opportunities he is lucky enough to have.

kitbag Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Yay! Good for him! For my work experience, I also went to a school for children with learning difficulties, and it was a good experience! I learnt a lot, and I really enjoyed myself! Hope he enjoys the rest of the week!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littleleicesterfox Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 My 5 year old gets upset when I call her my baby! They're all my babies - from my 11 year old lad all the way to my 14 month old baby boy xxxx I hope he has a great week - when I was that age I did a few summers volunteering with a playscheme for children with special needs and I really enjoyed it and got an awful lot out of it (I can still remeber some makaton now!).
